I like to think that every kid remembers when their parents let them eat ice cream for breakfast when they were on vacation or got to splurge on one of those giant cookies that’s nearly the size of their head … and that’s basically what today was like! …and not just because I woke up to…

November 23, 2016: Taste-Testing That Oreo Candy Bar Thing…
We saw it on Facebook a few weeks ago, and tonight I was surprised to find it on the shelves in the candy aisle of our local Walmart, so a family consensus was quickly reached that we all knew we were going to have to try it! …Christopher included, who took it upon himself to guard that…
August 2, 2016: CRAAAAAZY Bread!!!
I don’t think anyone would argue with me that Little Caesars was never really the best pizza, even long before they switched to the Hot-‘n’-Ready outlet model that they mostly do today, and yet I still have fond memories of going to birthday parties at the location in my hometown and even playing the occasional…
July 3, 2016: Grill Skills
I think I might actually be getting a little better at this whole grilling thing! Today was a day of splashing in the pool, and of dueling sparklers, but mostly it was a day of grilling – the first time we’ve done so this year, in fact. I actually like to grill, save for the fact that…
Apr 19, 2016: Homemade Cherry Coke
I’d forgotten just how addicting soda can be! This week I’ve consumed more than I would probably care to, mostly because I’m still coming off of my cold and it’s something simple that I’ve been enjoying, but also because I finally figured out how to make Cherry Coke the right way that used to be a lot harder…
Apr 7, 2016: Banana Shortage
Only when you’ve got a toddler in the middle of his I only want to eat bananas-phase is it possible to walk into your local Target and find nary a single bananular fruit in all of their entire produce section… Except for a small rack of super unripe, organic bananas that we soon found out were pretty much unedible on…
Mar 13, 2016: Oops, I Forgot
I didn’t realize until about 2:30am last night that I’d forgotten to do a post for Sunday, so instead you’re getting two posts today and one of them involves this fine picture of my breakfast. I know that I’ve said it roughly a million times, but I’m trying to eat better and get my diet…
Mar 10, 2016: Sriracha Shrimp
I like this meal because it’s super easy, and I think it’s pretty healthy, too. Throw a pound of shrimp in a frying pan with some olive oil, apply liberal doses of Garlic Sriracha Seasoning, and dump them over whatever rice or frozen veggies you can nuke while the shrimp are cooking. I’ve also done steamed…
Feb 28, 2016: Cheesy Crescent Dawgs
My food preferences tend to alternate between those of a five year-old and a college kid. Pizza, grilled cheese, microwave nachos … it’s almost hard to believe my doctor has her own personal heart attack whenever I go in for my yearly checkup and she asks about my diet! Tonight I made somewhat of a…
